Sex Pistols to play Hollywood gig
Sex Pistols
The group first reformed for the Filthy Lucre world tour in 1996
The Sex Pistols will play a one-off gig in Los Angeles next month, with tickets being given away by a US radio station.

The show will take place at the Roxy on Sunset Strip, Hollywood, on 25 October - two weeks before six dates in the UK.

No tickets for the Los Angeles concert will be sold - instead, fans will have to win them through Indie 103.1FM.

The punk group have reformed for the 30th anniversary of their seminal album Never Mind The Bollocks, and recently went back into the recording studio.

They re-recorded their single Anarchy in the UK - the first time they had been in the studio together since the 1970s.

Uproar

The track will be used in upcoming video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

The group, who split in 1978, first reformed for a world tour in 1996 and last performed together in 2003.

Never Mind The Bollocks... Here's The Sex Pistols, which included God Save the Queen and Anarchy in the UK, caused uproar when it was released in October 1977.

But it was one of the defining records of the punk movement and is now recognised as one of the most influential albums in rock history.
